And here's today's news from Islamabad?, no, it's Lahore in Pakistan.
A pregnant woman was stoned to death by her own family in front of a Pakistani high court on Tuesday for marrying someone of which they did not approve.
The Guardian says hundreds of women are murdered every year in Muslim-majority Pakistan in so-called " honour killings" – carried out by husbands or relatives as a punishment for alleged adultery or other illicit sexual behaviour – but public stoning is extremely rare.
